Can Ding

Can Ding is an Associate Professor in the School of Electrical and Data Engineering at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), affiliated with the Faculty of Engineering and IT. He is a core member of the Global Big Data Technologies Centre (GBDTC). Ding holds a BEng in Microelectronics from Xidian University (2009) and a joint PhD in Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Technology from Xidian University and Macquarie University (2016).

His research focuses on engineering electromagnetics, particularly in base station antennas for 5G/6G networks, cross-band interference mitigation, and antenna array design. He has led numerous industry-collaborative projects, including ARC-funded initiatives, and has over 120 publications in top-tier journals/conferences, featured in IEEE's 'What’s Hot in Antennas and Propagation.'

Teaching highlights include coordinating foundational electrical engineering courses and studio subjects, recognized with UTS's 2023 'Mid-Career Educator of the Year' award. He actively contributes to professional societies like IEEE AP-S, serving as an editor and conference organizer. His awards include the ARC DECRA grant (2020), Top 2% World Scientist (2023), and multiple outstanding reviewer distinctions.

His grants include 'Advancing Millimeter-Wave Base Station for 6G' (ARC DP, 2025–2027) and 'Maximizing 5G Signal Transparency' (UTS Bluesky, 2024). Ding supervises students in antenna design and has mentored over a dozen researchers, many of whom have won international conference awards.
